    "They want minimum effort and maximum dollar."

    SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, every #### day of the week. Something I strive for all week long. Whatever pays the most at the end of the year is what I want behind me.

    Oversize? Truck stops? The only thing your looking for is ease of access in and out and room to park. Mostly why you see a bunch parked at the same spot. Has nothing to do with the glory of the mom and pops or the nightmare of major chain truck stops. Nothing to do with the comradeship of drivers.True you do get along better with each other and you're more than a number on your truck at some companies. If it fits it works. The great thing day to dark. Always get a good night sleep. If your big enough and you have escorts they normally will take you places to eat or whatever.

    I will give you the absolute truth when it comes to the Pro's and Con's of flatbedding; Pro's = you work for a living Con's = I just can't think of any. As far as throwing tarps in the wind, cold, ice and snow,,,get your own truck and don't tarp or go where it is warm. Good luck... I love my step deck!

    Um, excuse me. I feel I should point out that "doorslammers" in the LTL sector definitely earn their money. So there.:razz:
